Terminal Crash Course and Reference Sheet

January 13th, 2013

I have been using linux for five or six years and I’m wrapping up my last year of college. I noticed that a lot of first year students and people starting to use linux have trouble getting around the terminal. Most of the time I’m only using a handful of commands and operations. I thought it might be helpful to share some basic usage of these commands and other tricks, so I wrote a short guide and reference sheet that I wish someone had given me when I started using linux. I’m using Ubuntu and Bash 4.2.8, YMMV
